Hey RW.. It's better to get that lose over with now..The pressure on the colts going undefeated throughout the year was way too much for any team to bear..Look at the pats last year..too much pressure..
The Giants are going to the Superbowl. ( barring injury of course )
It's not worth the spotlight of being the only undefeated Superbowl champ..24/7..

People that can do this always amaze me. I've mastered the coordination to master complex game ad other machine controls but have a complete tin ear. Love good music but pretty sure it's outside my abilities to play it just as much as to be an NFL receiver.
Can we take these peoples abilities and give them to the rest of us? I can make my own money but not my own music.

Even listeners who find everything to do with fusion stupid will have to admit this guitarist was smart taking on a far-out nickname that results in many of his credits reading Charles "Icarus" Johnson. As long as the "Icarus" part is in there, it is easy to tell him apart from many other performers with the same name, including the famous guitarist and singer from the gospel group the Sensational Nightingales. Of course, the music itself is a further dead giveaway, the expression chosen in order to hint at a state the aforementioned listeners might rather find themselves in than listening to any of this Johnson's efforts.
Fans of fusion, on the other hand, will point at Johnson's hands and describe the searing lead guitar passages they have created since his tenure with Stanley Clarke from the mid-'70s onward. In addition, he has shown his versatility by adapting to the many demands of a bandleader such as vocalist Al Jarreau and has also played the band game as a member of Pages, an ensemble featuring Jarreau as well as a host of Los Angeles session hotshots. "Automatic" is one of the compositions Johnson co-wrote while flipping through Pages. A single anecdote pinpoints this artist's stature in the music business: he has the clout to borrow an amp from pianist George Duke for a gig. ~ Eugene Chadbourne, All Music Guide

The girl told deputies her mother disciplined her by restricting her water intake, and was primarily given toast to eat. She said she hadn't seen a doctor in several years.She and her 12-year-old brother were taken from the home by Child Protective Services and the girl was admitted to Children's Hospital for treatment of severe malnutrition. She was in the hospital for two weeks.
During the investigation, investigators said they found the girl's mother restricted her water intake to about half of a small Dixie cup per day. The mother only let the girl shower every two or three weeks, and watched her during each shower and bathroom break to keep the girl from surreptitiously drinking water, Urquhart said. "She looked more like she was 8 or 9 years old. Clearly very, very malnourished," Urquhart said. "All of her teeth had to be either pulled or capped

Well, ok, it is Slate after all, but still stuff like this:
Last week's so-called town-hall event showed Sen. John McCain to be someone suffering from an increasingly obvious and embarrassing deficit, both cognitive and physical. And the only public events that have so far featured his absurd choice of running mate have shown her to be a deceiving and unscrupulous woman utterly unversed in any of the needful political discourses but easily trained to utter preposterous lies and to appeal to the basest element of her audience. McCain occasionally remembers to stress matters like honor and to disown innuendoes and slanders, but this only makes him look both more senile and more cynical, since it cannot (can it?) be other than his wish and design that he has engaged a deputy who does the innuendoes and slanders for him.
Would sorta indicate that perhaps Hitchens himself
is "suffering from an increasingly obvious and embarrassing deficit, both cognitive and physical." especially when he has to be sober enough to type.

Regardless of the outcome of this race the News Media, television and print, must pay for their utter disregard of fairness and truth.
Most conservatives have been aware of the slanted picture the News Media presents to the American public but it has gone beyond any reasonable bounds into the realm of propaganda and borders on treason.
THEY MUST BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE BY CONSERVATIVES.
A boycott of all purchased services provided by all of the Liberal News Media must begin immediately. Since the First Amendment disallows, with good reason, any restrictions on them by government, then it is up to the public to punish them for their blatant manipulation, through omission or commission, of the facts concerning all the candidates. They no longer should be given the benefit of the doubt and should be assumed to be lying in some manner about all of their "reporting". Anyone who disagrees should reexamine these past months and explain in what particular I am in error.
The audio-visual entertainment industry, either owners of or participants in the News Media, should also be part of this boycott. Their money, influence and other resources have been made available to the liberal left for many years now. They have become a consistent source of propaganda and lies concerning this country and conservatism. They must be deprived of as much of their profits as are accounted for by conservatives. We have given our enemies the resources to defeat us and destroy this country just as the buying foreign oil funds the terrorists and other enemies of this country.
Remind your family and friends of like-mind to do what they can to avoid putting anymore cash into the pocket of those who will destroy our way of life.

Watergate has become the revisionist preference of so called American educators. From my understanding it takes up a good portion of history books today including “The Reagan Years.” In essence then the accepted academic norm is to instill a negative review of Republicans since the days of Watergate.
Given this, Republicans by way of Nixon has become the perennial straw man of the academic left that permeates our institutions today and subsequently the mores of youth today.

Hitchens of course isn't exactly an atheist. He's an anti-theist. More than likely he fears Palin's past experience with Pentecostalism.
I certainly hope that Hitchens realizes that he is endorsing Diversity Inc. which in my estimation will lead to the local codification of Sharia-Like laws and their subsequent normalization.

Yes. Just go to the page in question, and drag the photo you want to the address bar in the browser. You'll get a page with just that picture. Alternately, you can right-click or control-click on the picture and choose "Open image in new window" (or the equivalent for you browser).

Christopher Hitchens
re: #206 pat
Hitchens, an atheist who loves Black Theology. Useful idiot.
re: #215 Gus 802
Hitchens of course isn't exactly an atheist. He's an anti-theist. More than likely he fears Palin's past experience with Pentecostalism.
I certainly hope that Hitchens realizes that he is endorsing Diversity Inc. which in my estimation will lead to the local codification of Sharia-Like laws and their subsequent normalization.
Hitchens has a tendency towards cluelessness depending on his state and hedonistic intent.
Hitchens really really pissed me off with his Obama endorsement this morning. Absolutely unforgiveable. Previously, I actually admired him (probably more than many people here) for his insights -- prior to today, at least. But he just flushed his credibility down the toilet with one column.

Hi Irene - well I for one pray it will remain a cold civil war but I suspect all bets are off the table about that if Obama wins - especially if he wins some true battleground states because of ACORN or ACORN type fraud.
I can just see a hastily armed force of media-conformist lefties laying siege to some anti-Obama enclave, perhaps one that is suspected of harboring fugitives like GW Bush and D Cheney.
This people's militia would arrive chanting and singing, spiffed out in new uniforms (Chebama t-shirt and BDU pants) and on fire with the righteous zeal of revolutionary change, but they would mutiny the first time they missed a mandatory bathroom break or had to go three days without Starbuck's. What they might actually do with their weapons doesn't bear thinking about. When faced with the inevitable disaster, their first impulse will be to call for a UN peacekeeping force but that will bring them another rude surprise.
To paraphrase Abe Lincoln, the combined armies and police forces of Eurabia could not fight their way from Galveston to Crawford in 100 years even if civilians were the only opposition.

I never thought Hitchens would endorse McCain. First, because when all is said and done, he is a leftist. Second, he has always had deep feelings for his non-white brothers. Third, I think he's tired of being ignored by his old friends and receiving all the adulation that he did previously. It's hard to go from the tippity top of the heap to being scorned and ignored.

re: #162 JCM
This same guy has tried to argue that the "Cold War" as a construct of the "industrial military complex" and all the "stories" (gulags, 100 million + dead) are propaganda to keep us in fear, so he war profiteers could get rich. Nothing to fear from communism says he.
I really quit trying for the most part at that point, where do you start deconstruction a world view like that?
I have to think that this 'worldview' is just openly dishonest. On paper, forget in practice, Communism espouses the absolute need for wide spread murder of dissenters, even peaceful dissenters. It makes no bones about any other options. Communism's built in mechanism for dealing with the types of people that are given to gaming the system to get ahead, is murder.
The theory being that eventually you can kill enough entrepreneurial and opportunistic people that there just will not be any more. That eventually after enough institutionalised murder society will deliver a 'New Man'. Of course, Communism fails to address the kind of 'New Man' you will arrive at in this society built on a genocidal bloodlust directed against relatively common human behavior. Apparently he will be extremely self-sacrificing in regards to sharing the fruits of his labor with others to alleviate suffering from deprivation, but conversely find human suffering that derives from actual physical oppression and murder morally acceptable, or possibly even virtuous. Of course, no one ever accused Karl Marx of being a genius. Oh wait...
Where exactly do these peace loving Communists really think that the ideology goes? There is this common meme that 'Communism works on paper'. I guess it does if you are an idiot.

My feelings exactly which is what motivated me to say that. Hitchens has proven that he is at the very least a feeble alley of even the least of conservative values. I suppose sometimes that the 911 Conservatives can only go thus far and Hitchens has proven that considering his pandering endorsement of Barack Obama on the questionable site, Slate. Over time I suspect that anyone can be corrupted and Hitchens has proven that he is corruptible.
Of all people I would expect to see Hitchens see the parallels between the Labour Party of the UK and Barack Obama. In the end he reverts to an analysis based on American popular culture and a blindness towards that which he pretends to espouse.
His book “God is Not Great” is simply boring. I believe that Hitchens only writes for himself and that mostly he just likes to hear himself speak. A charlatan indeed.

On the very left was communism on the very right capitalism with everything in between. He then superimposed on top of every economic system the level of individual liberty/freedom for each one. Needless to say, communism had total state coercion, even death matched up with it.

Unreal... New 8th Grade English Textbooks Now Contain 15 Page Section on Obama!
Related details from the REAL DEBATE WISCONSIN site:
THIS IS OUTRAGEOUS!
My 8th grade son is in an advanced English class at a public middle school here in Racine, Wisconsin. I just found out that my son's new (copyright 2008) Wisconsin - McDougal Littell Literature book has 15 pages covering Barack Obama.
I was shocked - No John McCain, no Hillary Clinton, no George Bush - Just Barack Obama. I'm wondering how it is that Obama's story gets put into an 8th grade literature book? It would be one thing, if it was just the tidbit about his boyhood days, but 15 pages, and they talk about his "Life of Service". Honestly, what has Obama really done to be included in this book? Not only that, but on page 847 there is a photo of Obama at the 2004 Democratic Convention with at least 8 Obama signs in the background! Front & center is an [Link: www.obama2004.com...] sign.
Now I understand that many teachers are liberals, but does the school have the right to shove Obama down our kid's throats? All the kids grouped together and read the story. After that, they discussed it... I guess it appears that Obama is planning ahead. If he doesn't get his coveted Presidency, Obama is going to make sure, that the younger generations know all about him, and his "life of service".If you would like to see the 15 page story on Obama, it appears that you can order this book online. There is a note in the book that says, For more on Barack Obama, visit the Literature Center at [Link: www.ClassZone.com...] The book is: Wisconsin - 8th grade - McDougal Littell Literature - copyright 2008. The Obama story starts on page 830. I hope you will take the time to look at this book. I'm really angry about this - In fact, I would love to rip the pages right out of this book.
By the way, you might find this interesting: I did a little checking on McDougal Littell, and it appears that MCDOUGAL, ALFRED L CHICAGO , IL 60611 - N/A/RETIRED has been making contributions to Barack Obama's campaign!
I found that information on this website.
[Link: www.newsmeat.com...]
Now I'm not an expert at these things (just a PTA mom), but It looks to me like Alfred McDougal is connected to McDougal Littell the same company that publishes the 8th grade textbook that has 15 pages on Obama. Like I said, I'm not an expert, but I'm sure you have someone who can delve into the dirty little details.I guess my question is: Is it ethical for an Obama supporter to publish an educational book which has a 15 page Barrack Obama story in it? If the tax payers are paying for these books, why is it okay for McDougal Littell to promote Obama? This really bothers me. I would have no problem with it, if Obama had actually done something important. Why is Obama being put up on a pedestal, before he actually wins the pedestal? All I can say, is we can thank the liberal media, and now the liberal book publishers. Thanks to them, I'm sure there are probably thousands of these books all across the United States.

Not "any manner" but there are more than enough to do the job. It is illegal to own a machine gun, for instance, but this can still be done by paying a $300 fee and registering the weapon.
Lefties are preparing a major push against privately-held firearms, targeting not the guns themselves but their ammunition. They advocate prohibitive taxes, impractical technical requirements, and selective application of consumer safety regulations to shut off the supply of ammo to those wicked gun-clinging right-wingers out here.
Unfortunately for would-be leftist enforcers, there is a great deal they don't understand about this. Suffice to say that most serious gun owners can re-load fired cartridges and many can make their own bullets. A small percentage (but still a very significant number) have the tools and know-how to manufacture ammunition and even guns from scratch in clandestine workshops. Guns and ammunition are not rocket science, it is a venerable technology, and the knowledge of that technology is ubiquitous in this part of the world.

"At what point shall we expect the approach of danger? By what means shall we fortify against it? Shall we expect some trans-Atlantic military giant to step the ocean and crush us with a blow? Never! All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined with a Bonaparte at their head and disposing of all the treasure of the earth, our own excepted, could not by force make a track on the Blue Ridge or take a drink from the Ohio in a trial of a thousand years. At what point then is the approach of danger to be expected? I answer, if it ever reach us it must spring up from amongst us. It cannot come from abroad. If destruction be our lot, we ourselves must be its author and finisher. As a nation of free men, we must live through all times, or die by suicide."

It could be possible that it become a case of professional anti-trust. Since the educational material these educators present are for the benefit of their own gain. It could be argued that since Obama represents a prejudiced partisan inclination towards the said teachers own self interest. Etc.
You can petition for an opposing view which should be the standard. An ethical educator would provide a medium that include opposing views. Of course keep in mind that activist socialism does not by nature allow for the presentation of opposing views.

They had just started the indoctrination in our kids school when they attended (1990's) and they reported what was being taught. I had to explain things to them at the level they could understand to keep them balanced. When they got out of school, all three of them started watching for themselves and are now very conservative.

Cog, Martin Amis once told my husband that the left is always political whereas the right is never political (except when it comes to politics). And he's right. This creeping leftism has made such great inroads that I see no way to stop it in society as it currently is configured.
Earlier this evening you asked for suggestions for fixing Congress. I think one hope is for the US to swing Libertarian bigtime. If for no other reason than to starve Washington of funds.

OT Has anyone here had a pneumonia shot? Because of my health, I was given both a flu shot and the pneumonia shot today. The arm with the pneumonia shot is very painful and swollen (enough to wake me up.) Some shots, this is normal, but if it's not, I need to call the Dr. in the morning.

This is Charles with Stanley Clarke in Tokyo, but it's mostly from the back so you can't really recognize him.
Here's another version of the same photo on the official Stanley Clarke site. On the gallery page, it's called "Stanley and Icarus jammin' Tokyo."
Can't find the one good photo showing Charles and Stanley from the front, however. Drat.
Here is Charles (far left of the photo) in his late-70s band "Pages." Taken from a Pages fan site (it's MySpace page, so don't click unless you can handle their feature-laden site):
Pages, the one of the best AOR group cannot be forgotten among us.
In 1977, Pages released their debut single "I Get It From You" c/w "If I Saw You Again" produced by Bobby Colomby. And their first album "Pages"(Original Vinyl: Epic, USA 35459, Reissued CD: Epic Europe 475861 2 (1994) was followed.
Their highly sophisticated jazz-influenced progressive rock music with Westcoast harmonies was as remarkable as Steely Dan in late 70's.The original members of the group were as below:
Richard Page: Vocals, Guitars, Keyboards
Steve George: Keyboards, Vocals
Peter Leinheiser: Guitars
Jerry Manfredi: Bass
Russ Battelene: Drums
In 1979, Pages released the excellent second album "Future Street" (Original Vinyl: Epic USA 36209, Reissued CD: Epic Sony, Japan ESCA5888 ) including their masterpiece tune "Who's Right, Who's Wrong".
You can find Charles Icarus Johnson as the guitarist of Pages replacing Peter Leinheiser and George Lawrence joined as a new drummer on this album. Although both of Epic albums were really excellent,they were underestimated.
Pages signed with Capitol Records for releasing their third album "Pages"
I can't find the YouTube video with Charles in the white tux, but he's on this track:
L.A. COWBOYS - ENDLESS SUMMER
(Click "more info" for list of band members, including Charles.)
Finally, his wikipedia page mentions his music career:
Charles Johnson was born in New York and raised in Hawaii. He launched his first career (as a jazz guitarist) in the mid-1970s. Extensive recording credits include at least three albums that went gold: Reach For It by George Duke, School Days by Stanley Clarke, and Live in London by Al Jarreau.
There's plenty more, but that should convince any doubters.

I went for my customary evening visit to the LLL girlfriend (we have separate places a block apart from each other) and she was crowing about Hitchens and how, one by one, "They're dropping away." I explained that I didn't agree on Hitchens about anything, and just because people are on TV or radio doesn't mean they're special. She thought maybe she could help me "see the light." But she apologized for bringing it all up in such brazen a fashion.

what's interesting is the number of Obanal ads we're getting here in Lost Angels...... that would seem to be carrying coals to newcastle, except for an interesting experiment i conducted fryday evening.
HRH and i stopped at McCormick & Schmits at a mall near Dingyland after we left the convention. while we were inside snacking and slaking our thirst, someone walked a big dog down the sidewalk, with the predictable side effect.
we were headed to the car ande noticed the gift, as we passed, i told the oncoming party "watch out for the Obama." they laughed.
we then realized that we hadn't gotten our parking validated, so we turned back, and met another party coming towards us, so i repeated my warning. more laughter.
after getting our stamps, we headed back, and the scene repeated itself.

And now, a little non-political story that may just put a smile on your face:
Housekeepers at Beckham mansion arrested for 'stealing items and then selling them on eBay'
A couple who worked as housekeepers at David and Victoria Beckham's mansion have been arrested on suspicion of stealing personal items from them for sale on eBay.
Victoria's parents Tony and Jackie Adams raised the alarm after they spotted trinkets and items of clothing for sale on the internet auction site which they recognised.
When Mr and Mrs Adams travelled to the Beckhams' seven-bedroom home they discovered the items were missing and alerted police last Friday.
So, sports star David Beckham had personal property stolen from him, and the thieves' intention was to sell it as sports memorabilia. Yet, somehow, David Beckham will be getting his property back while not risking a single day of jail and/or prison time.
O.J. Simpson, you may want to study this story carefully!

Interesting- even the 0bama people think the polls are whacked:
Buoyed by encouraging poll numbers -- today's ABC News/Washington Post poll has Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., beating Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz, 53% to 43% -- lots of Obama backers out there seem to think this thing is over.
Sen. Hillary Clinton's senior adviser Howard Wolfson today writes "A PreMortem for The McCain Campaign," stating, "The economic crisis dealt the McCain campaign a fatal body blow." He goes on to explore what McCain should have done differently.
That's not what lots of smart folks in the Obama campaign think. They believe Obama's poll numbers are artificially high, McCain's are artificially low, this race will come down to two or three points, and anything could happen.

Polls all ACORN'd up?
Bookie makes a very interesting point about a possible "Dewey Beats Truman" thingy going on.
Incidentally, everyone talks about ACORN creating fraudulent registrations, but no one talks about the fact that they are all Democratic registrations. As someone said in a comment, that’s got to affect all the polling, because the polls are weighted in favor of Democrats now to reflect all these so-called registered Democrats. If these people don’t show up on election day (since even the most fervent fraudsters will have a hard time showing up in 72 places on one day), well, it may be a reprise of “Dewey beats Truman.”
My instincts tell me at the most we are only talking a percent or two in the polls in just a few states max - but we are in many ways in terra incognita here WRT Chicago politics on a national scale.

Time to bring back one of my favorite bets. A while back, a buddy of mine mentioned that he saw a picture of Truman holding up a newspaper with the headline, "Dewey Beats Truman". I bet him he couldn't show me such a picture in one week that hadn't been photoshopped. He bet me $10 that it was a real picture.
He came back the following week, handed me $10 and told me to shut up about it.

He posted this after my comment that ended with "My man."
"you implied that this video was inaccurate, and im merely pointing out that its not."
I then responded with;
"And I'm saying that after all the stuff I've told you discounting all of this type of mumbo-jumbo and you discounting those morsels of information, I can just as easily discount these too.
It's cool dude, whatever. You can believe what you want to believe. After all, who am I to say anything? You can go ahead supporting a guy who is most obviously a socialist, who's been around radicals, and racists his whole life, who's been collaborative with people who have DIRECTLY CAUSED OUR FINANCIAL CRISIS, who's been around mobsters, and who has been more than "sort of connected" to a group with a LONG HISTORY of voter fraud, intimidation, and corruption.
You want me to prove them? I already have. It's up to you to listen."
----
Then I added with your suggestion;
"BTW, since you're so hell bent on proving his experience, link me to one substantial, and I really mean substantial piece of legislative that came STRAIGHT from Barack Obama's pen. That's all I want.
You can sit on committees all you want, but when you vote present most of the time, and declare your candidacy for President halfway through your ... FIRST term of being in the Senate, those don't mean a damn thing."

To his credit, I do actually agree with some of the legislation introduced by Obama. However it seems to me that most of it, while altruistic on the surface is par for the course in being partisan, pandering, political maneuvering. He is quite vociferous in trumpeting some specific causes that are certainly noble, which only makes his silence on other extremely notable, and as hypocritical as most Democrats (and most politicians for that matter). Nothing exemplary from the Jr. Senator though, and quite a bit that is 'business as usual'.

I don't have a link on hand, but I've read up on him. He introduced legislation that made videotaping interrogations and confessions mandatory in capital crime cases, which I agree with (although I'd add the provision that the video be available only to the defense and prosecution and not the jury). That was as a State Senator.
He also introduced legislation for greater transparency of government spending, ironically along with John McCain and Tom Coburn, as a US Senator, which I also agree with. I don't remember the name of the bill, but it mandates disclosure of all federal spending and also searchable on the internet.

The Republican US presidential candidate John McCain was not tortured during his captivity in North Vietnam, the chief prison guard of the jail in which he was held has claimed.In an interview with the Italian daily Corriere della Sera, Nguyen Tien Tran acknowledged that conditions in the prison were "tough, though not inhuman". But, he added: "We never tortured McCain. On the contrary, we saved his life, curing him with extremely valuable medicines that at times were not available to our own wounded."

And I agree with you Aboo, that after the upcoming election, regardless of who wins will result in a big 'change'. If McCain is elected hopefully he is serious about him and Sarah cleaning up Washington. If Obama is elected, hopefully our worse fears about him are largely unfounded.

I've been trying to get my family to move out of CA for YEARS.
If Obama gets elected, I think my argument will have a bit more sway.
We have two little kids in the family, and my parents have been very hesitant towards listening to my ideas and reasoning to move (or so I think). We're a conservative family living in arguably the worst place to be a conservative. These little kids are going to public schools in LA and are being indoctrinated already by the school as well as their classmates.

re: #448 Scion9
While I certainly oppose Obama's socialist plans, those aren't my worst fears regarding his Presidency. Given his background and his Chicago thugocracy instincts, he can do worse than just sink the economy and confiscate wealth. I'm far more concerned with children in public schools being taught that it is all a good thing, and even more his penchant for silencing opposing viewpoints altogether.
On that score, the Federal government does NOT determine curriculum in public schools. Be more concerned about the direction on the local and state level,

Does not determine curriculum yet. If the Dems pick up 3-6 seats in the Senate, which is being projected, that puts them at a very significant majority. It is not filibuster proof, but who needs that when you only need a few moderate Republicans to reach across the aisle. I wouldn't count on a lot of retained autonomy of pretty much any institution in the Pelosi-Reid-Obama Federal Government.
Even if that scenario doesn't come into play, they can do a lot in the way of financing extra-governmental organizations such as publishing companies. The Saudis do it now. They subsidize the costs of books which encourages schools to purchase them just based on their price. Of course those textbooks paint their own narrative of Islam, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, etc, that is very sympathetic to the Arabs. It doesn't even take legislation, just lots of cash.
Obama already has a history of promoting a close relationship between public schools and partisan institutions pushing a political agenda as a type of school 'reform' when given the monetary power to do so.
And good luck getting the ultraliberal school boards on the coasts from blocking any of this, as well as making any headway in swing states. My State will unanimously accept these kinds of 'reforms' with open arms.

IMHO the best way we can show our support for John McCain is to pledge that we will abide by the results of the election.
Our first assertion as anti-idiotarians should be that there are still some pretty worthy laws and ideas ingrained in the Constitution. Most noteworthy is the fact that if the general populace or the government sometimes forgets this, there is an opportunity every two years to correct course.
Humans are adaptable and we are lucky to live in a country that recognizes this and allows more adaptability and ingenuity to come out than most any other governmental system.

I completely agree with you. When President Clinton won, I was annoyed but my first thought was, "Okay, let's hope for the best." That's why was so so disgusted with some of my moonbat friends who pronounced after President Bush won, "He's not my president." I'm not one for arguing, but I did speak up and say, "Aren't you an American? Then guess what? He IS your president."

Well, I'm not going to turn into the right-wing version of a moonbat if Obama is elected. "He's not my President!"
However, I do think that the game has changed. I don't believe that the Democrat party of today is 'loyal opposition'. That is to say, the party's leadership and a signficant portion of their activist base, not the majority of its electorate.
They no longer feel a need to play by the 'rules' and largely no longer adhere to the precepts and ideals of the Constitution that the vast majority of Americans support even if they don't all precisely agree with any one interpretation.
The flexibility of government wanes as that government extends its tentacles more and more into aspects of life that it was never meant to. If you look at the history of Democracies in general, and more specifically our Republic, the kinds of successful battles against subversive laws that threaten the foundations of our government, like Jefferson's against the Alien and Sedition Act are the exception and not the rule.

Most likely the Obama campaign is spiking Jake Tapper's comments section with racist anti-Obama comments to try to make it look like only racist don't support Obama.
Look at the two comments from Oct 14, 2008 6:27:54 AM and from Oct 14, 2008 3:17:16 AM, which are currently the first two.
[Link: blogs.abcnews.com...]
This is especially notable because the subject of Tapper's piece is those awful misogynistic anti-Palin T shirts. The aim of these racist comments would be to try to de-legitimize any sympathy for Palin. To get to that goal they have to throw feminism under the bus. The ends justify the means.
Really, what are the chances that authentic knuckle draggers would actually find their way to this Tapper column two days after it's publication date? The real deal is that this Tapper column is the only place in the mainstream media where those awful T shirts are even mentioned. That is how successful the Democrat-media axis is in controling the message.

Which brings us to Mr. Obama, who got his start as a Chicago "community organizer" at Acorn's side. In 1992 he led voter registration efforts as the director of Project Vote, which included Acorn. This past November, he lauded Acorn's leaders for being "smack dab in the middle" of that effort.The Obama campaign is now distancing itself from Acorn, claiming Mr. Obama never organized with it and has nothing to do with illegal voter registration.

The majority of the Democratic electorate is were we go to work. I suspect that most of these folks are simply "throw the Republicans out" voters. It's our own weakness too in that a lot of folks on the right are not enamored with many of McCain's positions. Yet this is where the salient difference is. "Throw the Republicans out" doesn't even have the sensible depth of saying "I'm voting for McCain because I think he basically believes in a democratic republic and free market capitalism -- mortgage bailout proposals notwithstanding." The foundations for "throw the Republicans out" is based on several "observations":
1) Bush got us into a war and war is bad. McCain will continue this because he is a Republican.
2) The economy was better under Clinton.
3) Republicans stand for a self-perpetuating, white, elitist, right-wing hegemony.
4) I'm voting for the underdog -- the non-white, non-elitist man of the people who promised to rebuild the government and the economy from the ground up -- that means I get mine (finally -- hallelujah for the One).
These are the reasons this election is even close. I won't go into the fisking of these positions but this is where the point of the spear needs to be aimed.

Agreed. Of course there question is really whether McCain is willing to fight. He doesn't seem to want the job enough to fight for it by pointing out just how abysmal Obamamama's record is, how far to the left he is, and what his economic and tax policies would actually mean -- exposing the lies of Obama's shameless commercials.
Of course there is another side to this -- the election will turn on turn-out. Pray for unusually cold weather and rain in swing states on election day. And don't forget that polls over-sample Democrats because of the method used. At this point in 1980 it looked like Jimmy Carter had a clear lead over Reagan. You might recall what ended up happening.

voter turnout will be different this year. Where there normally would be apathetic voting, you'll see long lines. This election has been whipped up into a frienzy by the likes of ACORN, the MSM, and of course, Obamaniacs. And now they have all those false people to count, just in case!

Do you have Dish Network? I was watching Glenn Beck last night and a McCain ad came on and it dealt with his tax positions. A bubble that bounces around the screen popped up. It said "Press select to see Obama's tax plan" Like a good little boy I hit select and the channel immediatley changed to the Obama 24 hour loop channel.

Last night's show was good. Looks like O'reilly might finally start taking Obama and his campaign to task.
I think he realizes how dangerous the Obamnation could be even to his program.
The media might be starting to smell fear.

With all the other issues upon us, I had forgotten about the Fairness Doctrine. With the MSM in the tank for the Dems the way they are, can you even imagine what our nation will be like if we lost Rush and the others? One can argue that McCain is a weaker candidate than we would like on many fronts, but when you think how much the media has directed the information in this election to most of the average voters, we can't afford to lose our few outlets of information. Thank heavens, we still will have the web!

Unreal... New 8th Grade English Textbooks Now Contain 15 Page Section on Obama!
This is beyond freaky.
Real Debate Wisconsin reported:My 8th grade son is in an advanced English class at a public middle school here in Racine, Wisconsin. I just found out that my son's new (copyright 2008) Wisconsin - McDougal Littell Literature book has 15 pages covering Barack Obama.
I was shocked - No John McCain, no Hillary Clinton, no George Bush - Just Barack Obama. I'm wondering how it is that Obama's story gets put into an 8th grade literature book? It would be one thing, if it was just the tidbit about his boyhood days, but 15 pages, and they talk about his "Life of Service". Honestly, what has Obama really done to be included in this book? Not only that, but on page 847 there is a photo of Obama at the 2004 Democratic Convention with at least 8 Obama signs in the background! Front & center is an [Link: www.obama2004.com...] sign.

He can silence a lot of criticism with nothing more than threats from his army of trial lawyers. A lot of independent outfits can't afford to defend themselves, and all it takes is dragging them into court and forcing them to put up the cost to either sink them, or scare them into silence and avoiding a lawsuit in the first place. The CAIR tactic. Serious need for some tort reform to thwart the practice altogether...but don't expect that to happen under Obama either.

And I thought I saw where part of this controversy in Ohio was that these ACORN registrations would be put in with the ballots before the count and would not be discernible from the regular ones?
Or does it depend on the state?

George Washington actually wrote about 0bama and the situation we are now facing. These words could not be more appropriate, IMO:
"The alternate domination of one faction over another, sharpened by the spirit of revenge, natural to party dissension, which in different ages and countries has perpetrated the most horrid enormities, is itself a frightful despotism. But this leads at length to a more formal and permanent despotism. The disorders and miseries which result gradually incline the minds of men to seek security and repose in the absolute power of an individual; and sooner or later the chief of some prevailing faction, more able or more fortunate than his competitors, turns this disposition to the purposes of his own elevation, on the ruins of public liberty."

Here's what passes for journalism in the Boston Globe, yesterday, written by a Dennis Fisher:
Help Sarah make sense
Sarah Palin has been on TV a whole lot lately, and she doesn't always make sense or speak a recognizable form of English, but goshdarnit, she's sure givin' it a heckuva try. She's just a Jane Six-Pack who happens to like to shoot wolves from a helicopter on the way to hockey practice. Given her busy schedule, the good folks at Remix Sarah Palin have taken the pressure of making sense off her shoulders and given it to you. The site has dozens of Palinisms that visitors can mash up things they wish she'd said. Some of the early efforts, including one titled Sexy Time and another called Ode to Geography, are priceless. We're not sure how they'll play in her home state of Russia, but we in the media elite love'em. -Dennis Fisher

Dull grey skies today but it's still warm enough that I'm wearing open-toed wedgie sandals.

Very interesting that the whole 'Obama and the Plumber' interview is making some news.... Saw it on the news here in NYC and pundits were saying that what Obama is saying is something very, very wrong...
/well, gee, maybe that's because if he were speaking Russian , he might easily be mistaken for Vladimir Lenin

re: #558 Sharmuta
Think about it. It's on 0bama to pick up a Bush state. He has to flip a state, and with 5-7 million PUMAs on our side, I'd like to know where that state is. The battleground states ACORN's been trying to cheat in are not playing by those rules- they're rejecting fraudulent registrations, so where is 0bama picking up a Bush state?
Anyone? Bueller?

White supremacy, and claiming that blacks in America are 'raped' by an Americanized culture, and need to live as Africans. A seperate society.
This is Obama's vision for America?
Somebody ( this means you, John and Sarah) please ask Obama how he can be the supposed 'champion' of the middle class that for his whole life he has 'disavowed', as per this Afro-centric value system.

I can. Reid suggests rewriting American history so that the U.S. loses all the wars it ever fought. Pelosi makes the 'fairness doctrine' law and requires everyone to 'Thank God' for Obama in the morning instead of the Pledge of Allegiance. And well as for Barry, he'll just be the good puppet and sign everything that comes his way.

Jackson believes that, although "Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades" remain strong, they'll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House[Link: www.nypost.com...]

Will the phony registrations associated with ACORN really effect the election? People can still only vote once, right?

Only in places where wide-spread fraud was going on anyway (Chicago, Philly).
I don't think that's the goal of the fraud, though, the goal is to undermine the entire election system and give President Obama a "justification" to revamp the whole thing the way he (Ayers) wants it.

Morning, everyone. Hope all is well. People, IF the O wins in a few weeks, America will survive. There will be some obvious thuggery but we will all be fine. He will over-reach and the mask will come off and we'll get a conservative congress in two years. The two oldest justices are among the most liberal, no? So even if he gets two picks, it's status quo. Just a bit of "worst-case scenario" optimism that keeps me up and working.

If you can find a copy the Weather Underground Manifesto is called Prairie Fire: The Politics of Revolutionary Anti-Imperialism.
It was written by Dorhn, in the '74. I've been looking but haven't been able to find an internet transcription of the text, and it isn't something that is still in publication.

Make mine double cream with artificial sweetener, please.
Today is election day in Canada.
Polls predict (another) Conservative minority government. If so, looks like Harper blew his chance for a a majority by advising Canadians to bottomfeed in the stock market - good investment advice perhaps, but what a politically foolish thing to say.

would be quite neat to find out Krauthammer reads LGF. now i'm in love again
CK gives BHO a pass - saying that BHO does not share Ayers and Wright's radical views....I call BS. BHO's rhetoric is 'moderate' but there is absolutely nothing in his record to lead me to be believe that he is anything other than a racist and a socialist.

Found this linked at HotAir:
Actor Duvall Blasts Palin Critics at Fundraiser
ABC News' Imtiyaz Delawala Reports: Introducing Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin at a GOP fundraiser Monday, actor Robert Duvall blasted conservatives who have criticized the McCain-Palin ticket in recent days, calling conservative columnist George Will a "super-nerd" and former Wisconsin governor Tommy Thompson a "block of wood".At an RNC fundraiser in McLean, VA, Duvall introduced Palin for the third time since her nomination to the Republican ticket, taking the opportunity to accuse Republicans critical of the McCain campaign as giving "credence to the other side."
[SNIP]
If any Lizards haven't seen Duvall's "Secondhand Lions", I highly recommend you rent it. It's a great film.

Here, here... He has a very well crafted image... His image is that of being all things for all people but his past comments in his books and associations, come on... He is radical (look at the 'education programs' he and Ayers brought forth under Annenberg), he has some very interesting views on race and is clearly a socialist...

I hear you. but he does admit to this;Why are these associations important? Do I think Obama is as corrupt as Rezko? Or shares Wright's angry racism or Ayers' unreconstructed 1960s radicalism?
No. But that does not make these associations irrelevant. They tell us two important things about Obama.
First, his cynicism and ruthlessness. He found these men useful, and use them he did. Would you attend a church whose pastor was spreading racial animosity from the pulpit? Would you even shake hands with—let alone serve on two boards with—an unrepentant terrorist, whether he bombed U.S. military installations or abortion clinics
later he says this:Second, and even more disturbing than the cynicism, is the window these associations give on Obama's core beliefs. He doesn't share Rev. Wright's poisonous views of race nor Ayers' views, past and present, about the evil that is American society. But Obama clearly did not consider these views beyond the pale. For many years he swam easily and without protest in that fetid pond
